"To get the extra 'offer' customers must send their cars for washing nine times within a certain period. The tenth car wash will entitle them to free sex," Fadhil said

Good job, subliteratemitter.

Yes, 10 is after 9. Not the point here.

they probably just required so many car washes to help their money laundering program. genius, keep the client of your illegal services actively involved in the laundering of your dirty money.

/ car washes are moderately good money laundering operations. usually requires someone to monitor water bills against income to find money laundering. a lot harder than watching a bar or restaurant have miracle incomes.

So I may just be ignorant on how prostitution laws work, especially in Malaysia, but is it technically prostitution if they are paying for the car washes they actually get, and not paying extra for the sex?

How is that any different from hooking up with a bartender after paying them all night for drinks?

I blame the internet for the fact that my first thought on reading the article was to wonder what it would be like to get a free tug-job from a Vietnamese car wash hooker with a bad case of prune hands...
